To find the equation of a line that passes through the point \( (2, 3, 4) \) and has equal intercepts on the axes, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of equal intercepts If a line has equal intercepts on the axes, it means that the x-intercept, y-intercept, and z-intercept are all equal. Let's denote this common intercept as \( a \). Therefore, we have: - x-intercept = \( a \) - y-intercept = \( a \) - z-intercept = \( a \) ...
